Berlin was wonderful. I was there on choir tour so we didn't have a huge amount of time to ourselves and the whole thing was very exhausting (I've never had to walk so much in my life!) but we got to sing in the most amazing churches including Berlin Cathedral - it was a real privilege.


Since I've been back my mind has been completely taken over by fandom - HP predominantly but a couple of other things as well. I've got several picspams in the works (one for the first HP movie which really is more delightful than people give it credit for, a fairly giant one for The West Wing and possibly another one for the latest challenge at picspammy) - partly I blame the holidays and having hours and hours of free time but tumblr is enabling as I tend to mini-spam things there too.

A couple of memes to waste time with... (both taken from captaincatapult

Listening: Florence and the Machine, La Roux, the HBP OST and having finally ripped a load of CDs the other week I've rediscovered my love for Kings of Convenience's Riot on an Empty Street
Reading: 1920s romance novels for next term and The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver for fun
Working on: Research for my thesis and aforementioned picspams
Loving: Harry Potter! The Young Victoria - I got the DVD yesterday and words cannot describe how lovely it is
Needing: My HP books for a reread!
Hoping: That my parents will have had the exterminator round before I get home next week, my brother was stung by a scorpion the other day!
Missing: New episodes of The West Wing, the boy


( HP meme )

Picture meme - I have a lot of free time atm!

1) Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
2) NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
3) They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
4) You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like. (Yeah, you can totally ask me about them if you want.)

These things take freakin' ages. So, first part of the top 5 meme featuring Dan/Serena, favourite albums, guys, tv shows & tv characters...

( part one... )

Results day is on Thursday - that's *2* days!!!!! Am so scared. Just thinking about it turns my stomach. Therefore lets spontaneously orgasm over Gaspard...



I am so lusting over him and his hair. Seriously. It's such pretty hair. I was watching Paris, Je T'Aime and obviously I flailed around during his scene and the talking French was inevitably sexy but I literally *died* when he spoke English. The accent. Guh. [/is dead]

( Let's die happy...(aka. one more Gaspard) )




I had to sort my room out today as I still hadn't unpacked ( it was a bomb site )
